DANGEROUS DANGEROUS: DO NOT DOWNLOAD, INSTALL ANYTHING FROM THIS WEBSITE

Certainly a shadow of itself in many… Certainly a shadow of itself in many respects. I think that the company changed hands over a year ago but they have certainly been having technical problems over the last few months. Their update page simply fails to update. The listed updates to mid January only show two so far this month; it did resume late last month but seems to have stopped again. The FileHippo updater, a program that you run on your PC to automatically scan for updates now fails to download definitions. In defence I have not experienced any malware issues though. It looks like this website is heading for the high road and I cannot see it lasting. My recommended alternatives would be Patch My PC, or Ninite.

Was looking for a video converter and … Was looking for a video converter and ended up on filehippo. Clicked on the download and then opened file to install. On second screen of custom install i was greeted with the option to complete install with two extra programs i didnt want and there was no option to unselect the unwanted programs so i cancelled the entire install. Or so i thought, the next day i was browsing and going through some personal files when i started getting notifications from an anti malwear id never heard of. Which had installed on my pc without my permission. Whats worse is my premium malwear didnt pick up on it and u didnt even get the program i went to this god forsaken site for in the first place. Avoid this diseased site!

Good stuff Hey all......I have just used and downloaded Ad-aware and along with a few other cleaning programs that I use, I wanted to again try to see what Ad-aware would find. Well it came out aces, being great. It found a few more bugs to my system. So I would so recommend this program to other. everyone at Ad-wre, keep up the great work. M. D. Santa Paula. Ca.
